This report contains data for diagnoses of dementia between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2019 and is based on board submissions made in April 2019.
These reports are developed by the NSS Public Health and Intelligence National Dementia PDS Team and contain performance-based analysis against the Scottish Government’s LDP Standard on Dementia Post-Diagnostic Support whereby anyone newly diagnosed with dementia is entitled to a years worth of person-centred support.
We would welcome any comments or feedback you may have on these management reports. Please get in touch with the ISD Dementia PDS team at: NSS.ISDDementiaPDS@nhs.net
The Local Delivery Plan (LDP) standard is as follows:
People newly diagnosed with dementia will be offered a minimum of one year’s post-diagnostic support, coordinated by a named Link Worker.
